Not anymore! As of this morning's 7.0 release, you can always switch your backup to one year retention EVEN FOR JUST ONE OR TWO MONTHS and for an extra couple of dollars you can keep the data around for a year (or forever). You can switch it back to "30 day retention" at any moment, all through the website.

Also, you can always do a "Restore to B2" to make a complete copy/snapshot of all your files entirely on the server side, and we'll keep those as long as you don't delete them. This will cost you $5/month to store 1 that entire duplicate 1 TByte copy in B2 (in addition to your original $6/month bill), but it's an option available to customers.
